Mr. Bernard Villamor can moderate us on language, fallacies and irrelevance.
SineBuano is a serious business. It must, therefore, be run by one who understands the business of filmmaking, appreciates the vision of SineBuano and is competent enough to run the organization of creative people.
I am not eyeing the position of Executive Director and will be declining any offer of it. I want this to be very clear from the very beginning.
I am also open to anyone within SineBuano who would want to pick the cudgels up for pnoize2k4.
Blongkoy,
I will not accept your challenge for the simple fact that I see no point in this "friendly" debate. The decisions made by SineBuano are not solely mine. Though I maybe the most vocal, SineBuano has always been a group effort.
The position of Executive Director is only on paper. In fact aside from my position there is no other administrative position in SineBuano. I only suggest to the core members the schedules that can be followed, I do not dictate what SineBuano should do or which path SineBuano should take.
To tell you frankly, we all felt that your resignation from SineBuano was a loss to the group. But we did not choose to stay at a dark corner and sob, we chose to move on. You chose to leave the group, we did not make you leave.
If you remember, even after your resignation to SineBuano you were still allowed access to the forum up until you started making harsh remarks to its members which prompted the administrator to discontinue your access. Yesterday, I had asked vern to moderate the thread "Istoryan Writers" because I felt that the innocence of the thread was tarnished by our exchange.
We are slowly but surely making progress and criticism, challenges and other distractions from people outside the group is the last thing we need.
You can say anything you want about me or how I "lead" SineBuano, but whatever happens to SineBuano it'll be because the group chooses to be that way and will not be the fault of one man.
I apologize but I am not in the habit of feeding a person's ego. This will be the last time I will reply to this topic, I have better things to do.
